antianginal medications
What are the 3 types of angina? and their definitions if you know them?
What is Stable angina?- oxygen requirements exceed the body's ability to supply oxygen
what is unstable angina?- caused by severely decreased coronary blood flow
what is Variant angina?- caused by sudden coronary artery spasms that induce ischemia in the heart muscle
diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus,
what is the Dtap or Tdap vaccine?
an incubator or radiant warmer is used to prevent hypothermia and increased oxygen consumption, oxygen levels can be assessed using an umbilical line or by a transcutaneous oxygen monitoring
what is the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome?
encompasses antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal agents
what are anti-infectives?
acetylcysteine and dornase alfa
what are mucolytics?
atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol, propranolol
what are b-adrenergic blockers?
5 general classes of immunoglobulins/antibodies
IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD
various chronic pulmonary diseases, sickle cell anemia, neurological disorders, and malnutrition
what are predisposing factors of pneumonia?
penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfonamides, miscellaneous agents
what are antibacterials?
works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways
what is the expectorant Guaifenesin?
prevent contraction of vascular smooth muscle- this decreases vascular tone and causes Vasodilation. Used for a number of cardiovascular conditions including arrhythmias and all types of angina
what is the method of action for calcium channel blockers?
is a highly contagious disease that initially mimics the symptoms of influenza, advanced cases develop an abrupt whooping cough with a high pitched sound, can be life threatening, especially in infants with 1 out of 20 cases leading to pneumonia
what is pertussis?
patients appear lethargic, pale, and show symptoms of toxicity-an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy is required immediately
what is epiglottitis?
broad spectrum, bactericidal antibiotics, most commonly used against gram-negative bacteria, work by combining with bacterial ribosomes which stops protein synthesis to prevent bacteria from reproducing, causing them to die
what is the method of action of aminoglycosides?
can cause bronchospasm and needs a bronchodilator pretreatment
what is hypertonic saline?
IV, sublingual, spray, oral, buccal, ointment, and transdermal patch
what are the delivery methods of nitroglycerin?
what is caused by a bacterium spread by direct contact or contact with respiratory droplets, membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed, up to 20% of recovering patients will have hearing loss, brain damage or loss of a limb? and what vaccine is used?
what is meningococcal disease and the MCV4 vaccine?
determine the fate of substances administered to a living organism, in children is relatively the same as adults with a few minor differences
what are pharmacokinetics?
broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs effective against both gram-positive and gram -negative bacteria, interfere with an enzyme called DNA gyrase that bacteria need to synthesize DNA, affecting cell reproduction and killing the bacteria
what is the method of action for fluoroquinolones?
cetirizine/pseudoephedrine
what is zyrtec-D?
tell me the generic names of Norvasc, cardizem, cardene, procardia, and calan
what is amlodipine, diltiazem, nicardipine, nifedipine, and verapamil?
